What is Bobo Bay?
Bobo Bay is a pet simulation game where you collect, breed, accessorize, and train little creatures to compete in races and other competitions.
There are thousands of combinations of Bobos you can make. Body color, eye color, body part shapes, patterns, sheens, stats, personality traits, and more will all change with each Bobo you find or breed! Don’t forget that you can also dress them up in fancy little hats as well!
Races are the main event in Bobo Bay. Different companies and organizations from around the globe sponsor different competition series and award unique prizes! Bring your Bobos along to the brand new and very clean sports complex to enter them into a competition.
Gameplay features:
-
Lots of Bobos that you can capture and breed, with thousands of combinations.
-
Competitions galore, with races being the main event. Win fancy and unique prizes!
-
Bobo stars are legendary bobos. If your Bobo beats one of these blockheads, then you will be rewarded with a brand new sapling of the same species as the legendary Bobo that you beat! This opens up a lot more customization possibilities!
-
Town strolling where you can walk through the cute little town and buy accessories for your Bobos to wear, register a new Bobo, and see competition history at the Town Hall. Remember to go back at night time to see different shops and options!
-
Check the clock because time and date are very important! All competitions have scheduled dates. Some competitions take place every day and night, while others might only happen once a week!

ABOUT NewFutureKids.
NewFutureKids began working on Bobo Bay in August 2022. Owned and operated by Austin, who has always been fascinated by the Chao Garden concept and wanted to take that idea and turn it into a full game, done in his own way.
Austin has been doing game dev for about eight years, starting out mainly doing 3D art. One day, he really wanted to make his own game so he built a little mobile game and learned how to code through Unity. Since then, he’s been chasing that one great idea that he wanted to take all the way to the finish line, and found his niche in Bobo Bay.
